At this time, the PLANT had become a mess, and the crowd of the National Defense Committee came and went, noisy and colorful, so that Aslan, Diego and Nigel, who had just returned to their country, did not know why.

"Hey, hey, what's going on with this mess?"

"Something terrible must have happened."

At this time, they happened to meet the oncoming captain of the formation, and the three of Aslan hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"Captain Yuuki."

"Aslan Sarah! Diego Elsman! Nigaul Amalfi! How did you end up here? "Captain Cheng knows them, they are all elites in the army, they belong to the Kreuzer team, and they should be on Earth at this time.

"Let's not talk about us, why is everyone in a mess?" Aslan asked hurriedly.

"[Operation Breaker] seems to have failed." When Captain Yuki heard this, his expression sank, and he was very serious.

"Huh?"

"What?"

"How so!? That's ......."

Aslan, Diego and Nigaul couldn't believe the answer that Captain Yuki told them, [Operation Breaking the Game] was the largest operation since the start of the war, the troops invested were unprecedented, and the plan was also formulated by Kreuzer throughout the whole process, they knew their former captain, and their thoughts were meticulous, and it was difficult for them to believe that the battle arranged by him would fail.

"The exact circumstances are not yet known, but there are reports that we have been wiped out."

"How is that possible!? It's nothing to ...... the whole army."

If they were unacceptable to just the defeat of the battle, the result of the annihilation of the entire army would be like a bolt from the blue.

Captain Yuki approached them and whispered to the three of them, especially Aslan: "There is also bad news for you, one of the latest MSs in secret development has been taken away, and the person who is secretly pulling the strings is none other than Lux Klein. ”

Hearing this, not only Aslan, but even Diego and Nigaul changed their faces greatly.

Who is Lux Klein? The daughter of the former Speaker of the Siegel Klein, the daughter of the Klein family, and the full-name idol of PLANT, not only among the people, but also within the ZAFT army, more than half of the people are her fans, if ...... If she's a spy, they can't imagine how much damage this incident will do to PLANT.

"Now the National Defense Committee has exploded."

"This ...... How could it be...... Lux ...... How could it be ......"

Unable to believe what they had heard, the three Aslan said goodbye to Captain Yuuki and immediately walked towards the interior of the Defense Committee, where they wanted to meet Patrick Sara and find out what had happened and why such a huge change had occurred in the past few days since they returned to PLANT from Earth.

"What are you still rubbing? Hurry up and let Gibraltar send troops and reinforcements too! ”

"Drone reconnaissance is not good, what is needed now is a detailed report!"

"Why haven't I heard of this!?"

"Where did this information come from?"

……

Along the way, the staff of the National Defense Committee were in a mess, eager to know what was really going on on Earth, but they were anxious because they couldn't get a specific report right away.

When he came to Patrick Sarah's office, he was also very busy, and Patrick Sara kept asking his subordinates how the situation was on Earth, and he didn't even notice that the three of them came in to make a report.

"No news yet?"

"They seem to be using the [Cyclops System], and a large-scale microwave antenna is set up under the base......"

"Where's Kreuzer?"

"No further contact has been made, and the last telegram received from Captain Kreuzer that he is leading the remnants of his troops back to the Gibraltar base from the direction of the Arctic Ocean."

"What? Why take the Arctic Ocean to get to Gibraltar base? What about the Carbonylia base? ”

"This ...... There was information from the Carpentaria base that while we were carrying out the [Operation Breaking the Game], the Orb fleet occupied Port Moresby and landed a large force from the Gulf of Papua to Papua New Guinea, and the Torres Strait was also blocked, so ......"

"Damn Orb!" Patrick Sara slammed his fist on the table, the situation of ZAFT was already very dangerous, and now Orb intervened again and calculated ZAFT for the second time, which had to make Patrick Sara worry that Orb and the Earth Union had secretly reached some kind of agreement to deal with ZAFT, "Get in touch with Kreuzer as soon as possible, let him submit a detailed report, and the Carpentaria base, let them keep an eye on Orb's next moves, and never let Orb's fleet leave the Torres Strait, Let the parliament send inquiries and reprimands to Orb. ”

"Yes."

"It's rude, Speaker Sarah." At this time, the door to the office opened again, and Patrick Sara was reported, "Several members of parliament, headed by Erin Kanaba, have occupied the chamber and asked us to explain the situation, probably because they want to convene a temporary meeting of the Supreme Council." ”

"Hey, it's just a mess at this time...... Pick them up later! Patrick Sara scolded, and then gave the order, "In short, get in touch with Kreuzer as soon as possible, Carpentaria maintain second-level combat readiness, shrink the forces around the Federation of Oceania, don't mess around, what is needed now is a calm and objective report." ”

"Yes!"

"Did the Klein gang find it?"

"Not yet, their escape route is very well planned and may take more time than expected."

"Damn it, let the Bureau of Justice come forward and arrest all these members of the council who are close to Klein!"

"But ......"

"Lux Klein was a spy matchmaker, and his father then absconded with him, his whereabouts are unknown, and the target of [Operation Breaking the Game] was revealed, and even a child can understand the relationship, the Klein family is a traitor at this time, and Kanaba they are trying to hold me accountable, it's ridiculous! Who are they...... No, they must be harboring fugitives, this is the only possibility! ”

"Understood!"

Patrick Sara finally decided, although some people still had doubts, they had to carry it out, otherwise they could be arrested in complicated circumstances.

After the men left, Aslan, Diar, and Nigaul stepped forward to report.

"Your Excellency Speaker Sarah."

"Hmm...... Do you all know the situation? ”

The three of them looked at each other, their expressions were complicated and tangled, because Aslan still couldn't believe that Lux would mutiny, and he also heard that Orb had taken the initiative to attack the ZAFT army, which was simply a fantasy.

Nigaul and Diego are worried about their father, who was a member of the moderates, and Diego's father, who was neutral but close to the moderates, feared that his father would be arrested by Patrick Sara along with Erin Kanaba.

"Yes! But...... It makes me unbelievable, how could Lux collude with a spy? And Orb ...... If Yang Hui is here, he shouldn't do this......"

"It seems that you have never known Yang Hui as a person, Aslan." Patrick Sara pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and said to the three Aslan, "Now Orb, no one dares to do this except Yang Hui, and only he has such a big appetite and such courage." ”

"But didn't Orb stick to his neutrality? Why are they ......?"

"Hehe, that's why I do this because I want to stick to neutrality." Patrick Sara smiled self-deprecatingly, the failure of the [Game-Breaking Operation] did make him angry, but he never expected that Orb would actually exert his strength at this time.

He understood Yang Hui's approach, and he always knew Yang Hui's goal.

Yes, it is to stick to Obu's concept of neutrality, but to do this, it needs to be absolutely strong, and have the force to confront the whole world.

Therefore, the neutrality of Orb is not the neutrality of the current swaying left and right and compromise, but the neutrality of standing on the top of the world and no one dares to touch it.

This is Yang Hui's ultimate goal!

To do so, it is necessary to expand the size of Orb, and Papua New Guinea is the preferred target, both close to Orb and able to contain the Carpentaria base, killing two birds with one stone.

"But Your Excellency the Speaker ......"

"That's it! This matter is already an established fact, it is useless if you don't believe it, what matters is how we deal with it next! ”

"Yes!"

"Diego Elsman, Nigaul Amalfi, you don't have to worry about your father, they are not involved."

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Speaker Sarah!"

"Well, as for Lux...... See for yourselves. As he spoke, Patrick Sara brought up the image sent by Gnaku from the Freedom Gundam, and it was really Lux who handed over the Freedom Gundam to a stranger, "This is the surveillance footage of the military factory, and after that, the freedom was immediately taken away, and if there is no evidence, no one will suspect her, do you understand?" ”

"Yes......" replied with difficulty, but the evidence was overwhelming, and it would be useless for them not to believe it anymore, and from the moment she was sent, Lux Klein was no longer Aslan Sarah's fiancée, but a wanted man for treason, their enemy.

"From now on, you are my direct troops, no one can give orders to you except me, and your first task is to regain the stolen X10A freedom, and clear its pilots, as well as all personnel and facilities that may have come into contact with it."

"Huh?" This task was too ruthless, and the three of them couldn't accept it for a while.

"The three of you go to the arsenal to receive the new mech, X09A justice, Aslan Sara ......"

“…… Be. ”

"X11A Reborn, Diego Elsman."

"Yes!"

"X12A Covenant, Nicol Amalfi."

"Yes!"

"Once you're ready, set out on a mission, and if you can't regain your freedom, destroy it completely!"

"However, Your Excellency the Speaker, all personnel and facilities that may have come into contact with you must be cleared...... Isn't it too much? Nigaul asked, how could he really be so ruthless.

“…… All of the X-Series airframes are equipped with anti-neutron jammers, and you should understand the importance. ”

"Antineutron jammer!? This ......," the three of them looked shocked.
